Trainee Admissions, Support, and Outcome Data

Admissions

Factors we consider essential for an applicant to have a successful internship
year at CCPPS are 1) clinical experience (individual, w/ diverse populations,
preferably at a counseling center) and 2) assessment experience, preferably with
some of the following measures (or similar ones): WAIS, WJ, D-KEFS, and IVA, as
well as with writing integrated reports.

Factors we use to consider goodness of fit once an applicant is assessed as able
to be successful at our center are: interview, cover letter, essays,
recommendation letters.

Factors used to offset weaknesses in any of the areas above are: extent of outreach experience, group experience, supervision experience, as well
as any other experiences or factors that may add value to the center and the
